FOREIGN IN TELLIGENCE. OFFICIAL DESPATCH. " San Sebastian, Oct. 2 " Most Excellent Sir,—l had the honour to inform your Excellency on the 28th nit. that, in obedience to your Ex cellency's orders, I had embarked and dospatehed to the westward a strong brigade of Spanish troops, to be avail able either for the pursuit of the predatory columns of the rebel chief Sanz, or to reinforce the army of reserve. This large diminution of our strength here appears to have de termined the enemy to make yesterday a general attack on our lines ; in which I have the pleasure to inform your Ex cellency that they were completely foiled and repulsed, with very heavy loss on every point. " During the preceding night they concentrated on the fortified heights of Ametza all the troops, reinforcements, and armed peasantry which they could collect from the different points of the province. They also placed in bat tery on this commanding position several pieces of heavy artillery. From the front of our line of cantonments to the Ametza is not more than 500 yards. The action commenced while it was yet dark, by a feint against our extreme right ; at the same time a real and vigorous attempt, in force, was made against our left, with a view of carryin;, by a coup de main, the post of Alza. This was signally defeated by the gallantry of the volunteers of Guipuscoa, and a detachment of Spanish and Auxiliary British Artillery, forming the garrison of that point. " As the day broke, their cannon opened from Ametza on the quarters occupied by our troops. Under the cover of this hire, and counting on the confusion it was expected to create, their infantry advanced to the attack. Our front picket-house, occupied by three companies of the West minster Grenadiers, under Major Lister and Captain Ma clain, was maintained with peculiar firmness. It was per forated by about seventy cannon-shot ; but not a man, ex cept from wounds, left his post. The posts of the Samod Spanish Light Infantry were similarly attacked, and simi larly defended. The enemy frequently sallied from their works, but were &rays driven in again at the point of the bayonet. " Our onall corps of Lancers, under Lieutenant-Col. Wakefield, w ,7re most useful and distinguished, and charged more than once :in a very brilliant manner. The artillery, also, under the able direction of Colonel Colquhoun, was placed and directed with excellent skill, and produced im portant effects. " Towards 4 o'clock in the :_lfternoon some heavy explo sions took place in the enemy's :nes, perhaps of caissons blown up by our shells. Their fire Blackened, they com menced retiring their guns, which they completed in the night and following day. This conflict continued above 12 hours, and was not quite over till after dark. Our troops were full of ardour, and we might probably have seized on the enemy's cannon, but having already gained a decisive success, and inflicted a severe punishment on the rebels, I did not desire to throw away for an inadequate result 400 or .500 additional men in killed and wounded, which it mighi, have cost to storm the steep and intrenched heights before us, particularly as it does not enter into my plan to retain poss,ctssion of that position. " The com•olete order and intrepidity evinced by the offi cers and men, Spanish and English, on this occasion, ap peared to me wor:l3Y of far more veteran soldiers, and will, I hope, meet with her Majesty's approbation. It was one of the best contested aci-Cons fought by the troops of this corps since I have had the honour of commanding it. " From a variety of sources; 1 am led to believe the enemy's loss cannot have been less than 1,000 ; reports from their partisans carry it much hig•her, but the truth on this point cannot be ascertained. airs in killed and wounded is rather under 400, including 37 officers. Some deserters have come over, who represent a consternation to exist among the rebels from the number of their dead and wounded. _ . " I have to express my best acknowledgments for their gallantry and conduct, and for the advice and assistance they afforded me, to Major-General Jauregui, Brigadier- Generals Chichester, Le Marchant (Adjutant-General), Van Halen, Fitgerald, and Godfrey ; to Colonels de Lan cey, Jockmus (Quartermaster-General), and Belloso, and to the officers of my personal staff; and I should be much wanting were I not able to express my obligations, as on every occasion, to Colonel Wylde, his Britannic Majesty's Commissioner with the Spanish army. My thanks are also due to Commodore Monies, commanding her Majesty's naval forces, and to Commodore Henry ; to the former for his good disposition of the gun-boats to support our right, had the enemy presented themselves in that quarter. The battalion of Royal British Marines under the orders of Commodore Lord John Hay, were stationed at Passages, for the defence of that important point, against which, however, the enemy made but a feeble attempt. " But I cannot close my letter without repeating my sense of gratitude to his Lordship and the offfners of his Britannic Majesty's navy and marines, for the cordial and effective support they are at all times so prompt to render to her Majesty's cause and Government. Nor should I omit to include in this acknowledgment Lieutenant Vicars, of the Royal British Engineers, and the detachment of Royal British Marine Artillery, under Lieutenants Parke and Savage, who rendered us on this occasion distinguished service. " God preserve your Excellency many years. " DE LACY EVANS, Lieutenant-General. (Truecopy) "C. WETHERALL, Lieutenant-Colonel. " 5, Freeman's-court, Oct. 10." Head-Quarters, St. Sebastian, Oct. 2.

" Fort on the Bidassoa. most Most Excellent Sir,—A ex traordinary silence has prevailed on the frontier since the glo rious ac ti on o f t h e I st instant, and the rebels are eminent ly dis pirited, and th e Pueblo (Irun) in consternation.

Incario Otamendi, the Captain of the Chapelgories, is also severely wounded, and who being of this neighbourhood and well known, the circumstance has come to my knowledge ; and, in addition to that, there are many more officers killed and wounded. " It appeiirs also, that besides the wounded they were carrying off by the royal high road, they are sending others to the lines by different cross-roads, so that, from dfferent reports, their loss may be estimated at 1,500 in killed and wounded alone.

COBURG, SEPT. 23.—The report which is given in the A ?Igenteine .Zeitung, under the head of Frankfort, 17th September, of serious disturbances having broken out here in Coburg, which required the interference of the military, and that this cxcitement of the people arose from the pro hibition of enjoying certain rights relative to the fbrests, is hereby officially declared to be wholly unfounded. We enjoy uninterrupted tranquillity and content, and feel our selves the more certain of the continued enjoyment of these blessings, as it was not disturbed even in the general fermen tation which some years ago manifested itself in different parts of Germany. • ST. PETERSBURG'', SEPT. 28.—Her Majesty the Em press has given orders to publish the new bulletins respect ing the health of the Emperor, which she has received, and which are the 14th to the 18th, from the 20th to the 24th of this month. The Emperor felt that the broken shoul der-blade was already so far well as to enable him to travel by short stages, and he accordingly set out on the 20th, at nine in the morning, from Kirssanow, where he arrived at four in the afternoon. On the 21st he reached Tambolf, and on the 22d, Kosloff ; and on reaching this place he felt no inconvenience except that caused by the bandage. On the 23d he arrived at Rashak, and on the 24th at Rasan, not having suffered in the least by his five days' journey. The Marquis of Londonderry has gone to Moscow. PETERSBURGH, OCT. I.—The 19th, 20th, and 21st bulletins have been published. The Emperor arrived at Kolomna on the 25th, Moscow on the 26th, and on the 29th in the morning at Tarskogeselo. His Majesty is in perfect health. The broken shoulder-blade is firmly united, and hardly any trace of the accident remains. No more bulletins will be published. By an order of the day dated Tamboff, 21st inst., his Majesty has discharged from the s'rvice, at his own request, Lieutenant-General the Prince Ernest of Hesse-Philipsthal (now in London) with the rank of General of Cavalry and with the Uniform. BERLIN, Our. 5.--The Marquis of Lansdowne passed through Elberfeld on the 2d of this mouth on his way to Berlin.

New York papers are received this morning at the North and South American Coffee-house, to the 21st September, by the London Line packet ship Montreal, Captain Cham plin. From the above papers : " We learn verbally from Captains Winsor and Henry from Rio Grande, that the rebels or revolutionists were in the neighbourhood of the city, 740 to 1,000 strong, ca valry and infantry, and made several attempts to enter the city, but without success. Rio Grande has a garrison of 1,200 men, and 16 pieces of cannon ; the entrenchments were attacked on the night of the 19th July, during a thunder storm, and after a brisk firing of two hours, the rebels retired. On the 30th June the rebels, under their chief, amounting to 700 men, attacked the fortifications of Porto Alegre, but were repulsed with great loss. United States Bank Stock, 120 to 121. Exchange—The sales of foreign bills for the packet of the 16th, were, on England, 7s per cent., although at the close they became scarce, and more was demanded. MEXICO. By the arrival of the schooner Lady Hope, in seven days from Tampico, we learn that the Mexican Republic is in a frightfully convulsed state. The intelligence re ceived at Tampico previous to the sailing of the schooner was of a most painful nature plotting, treachery, and strife being the order of the day ; party pitted against party, and all in open hostility throughout the distracted land. No battle of note, since that of Eda, has been fought, in which it will he remembered the Constitution alists were worsted ; they are not, it appears, dispirited or broken by their defeat—on the contrary, they are encou raged by the accession of numbers to their ranks, and the rapid extension of their principles. If this is correct, the overthrow of the present Government is the likely result, but it will not be effected without. much destrnction of life. The troops at Tampico are daily drilled by the new com mandant, Pasa, and amount to 1,000 men. Captain Wil liams, of the Lady Hope, speaks highly of Pasa, and states that he is a most gentlemanly and humane man, giv ing all possible protection to foreigners residing at Tampico, and suppressing all attempts at riot and insubordination. His active and energetic measures were productive of much good. The destination of the troops under his command was not known.—New Orleans Pee. AUSTRALIA. Sydney papers have been received to the 1 ith of May. BUSHRANGERS.—Rumours have reached Sydney of a party of armed Bush-rangers having visited a place named New England. Mr. Townshed, who made resistance to them, it is said was shot, and Colonel Dumarey's station plundered of every description of property to a considerable amount. CORN MARKET.—Wheat, Os. 6d. a 10s. 6d. per bushel ; oats, ss. a 6s. ; barley, ss. 6d. a 6s. 6d. ; flour, 275. a 30s. per 100Ibs. ; hay, Si. to 101. per ton. The wheat market experienced a depression during the week. Singapore papers have been received to the Ist of May. We extract the following A:lvices are anxiously looked for from Padang, where by the last. accounts the troops were suffering severely from sickness. Three merchant-vessels had been taken up to convey troops from Samarang ; in all about 500—small help, as it is understood thnusands are required. " CONIMERCIAL REMARKS.--IMPORTS.—Cotton piece goods.—The demand for suitable cf6scriptions continue firm, but the sales during the week have not been extensive. Cambrics have been almost entirely neglected. Long cloths—fine continue in.good inquiry, and the stock un usually small. Prints—we have no improvement to notice. Woollens are without any transactions to notice since our last." NAVAL COURT-MARTIAL.—A Court-martial as sembled on board the Royal Adelaide, flag-ship at this port, yesterday (Friday) morning, to try Mr. John Shaw, late su pernumerary assistant surgeon on board the Magnificent, for not appearing on board the Comus, Commander Price Hamil ton, at half-past nine o'clock, according to the orders of her Commander, and when appearing, being in a state of intoxica tion. The Court consisted of the following officers :._Rear_ Admiral Sir Charles Paget, President.—Captains the H on . D. P. Bouverie, Ross, Sykes, Thomas, Jackson, Sir W. H. Dillon, Sir T. Feßowes, and Robert Fitzroy.—Deputy Judge_ Advocate, G. Eastlake, Esq. Solicitor for the prisoner, J.

Mr. Forrest, the American tragedian , has arrived, and will speedily appear at Drury-lane. The Worthing " meeting on the sands" came off on Thursday last, but in consequence of the unfavourable state of the weather, was thinly attended.

OLD MICHAELMAS DAY, OCT. 11.-011 this day it is a castom, at Bishops Stortford, in Hertfordshire, and in the adjacent neighbourhood, for young men to assemble in the fields and choose a leader. This person they are bound to follow, who, for the sake of diversion, generally chooses the route through ponds, ditches, and places of difficult passage. Every person they meet is bumped, male or female ; which is performed by two other persons taking them up by their arms, and swing then against each eoxteheeprt. thoseT he of lwomenless in so r u g p e o n l e o r o a s l keep at home at this period, character, who, for the sake of partaking of a gallon of ale and a blumb-cake, which every landlord, or publican, is obliged to furnish the revellers with, generally spend the best part of the night in the fields, if the weather be fair ; it being strictly according to ancient usage not to partake of the cheer any where else.

HAMBURG, SEPT. 28, 1836. N.. 5 UR Friends, and all those who may have to write to us, are requested to be particular in directing, HEINE BROTHERS, in HAMBURG, and to observe, that a letter with ono inclosure doubles the Postage only, but several inclosures would by far increase the same. Thus 101., 201 ., or 301., for instance, if remitted in One Bank of Eng land would only cause double Postage, but 101. remitted in two notes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is there fore most advisable, for any Person having to remit Money to Ham burgh, to forward the amount in One Note; or having to receive Money from Hamburgh, to receive the same in One Note, when ever possible. Of course remittances from Hamburgh to England, surpassing the usual amount of One Bank of England Note, may rather be made in Bills of Exchange, on London. To save expenses that may as well be avoided, we request our Correspondents not to overlook these particulars. HEINE BROTHERS. The publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 10 minutes past Three o' Clock LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 11, 1836. 'e have this day the satisfaction of laying before our readers the quarterly account of the Revenue. It affords great cause for public congratulation. The quarterly increase in the Customs is within a couple of hundred pounds of one million, and the increase on the year in this one branch of the public income no less than 1,758,705/. In the Excise there has been a diminution of 145,3461. on the quarter, but on the year an increase of 606,9761. Stamps exhibit an in crease both on the quarter and the year, viz., 73,5371. on the one, 291,215/. on the other. Taxes show a decrease of 20,233/. on the quarter, and 63,250/. on the year. The revenue from the Post-office has increased 27,000/. on the quarter-90,0001. on the year. Under the head " Miscellaneous," there is a small decrease of 24,204/. in the year, and 10,273/. on the quarter. The general result is, an increase of 1,202,311/. on the quarter, and 2,815,147/. on the year. The above statement cannot fail to gratify every true friend of his country. We see the strongest evidence that can be presented to the mind of man, that our national resources are developing themselves to an extent that would have been, and was, pronounced chimerical by those who are better versed in grinding down the people with oppressive burdens, and curtailing their liberties, than in fostering their halustry, and protecting their rights. This flourishing state of the country is, we know, a bitter pill for the Tories. They would have been much better pleased to see every thing going to wreck and ruin in the State, be cause they sink every other consideration in the one great—the paramount object, of getting into power. Only seat them on the Treasury Benches, and they care not at what expence. " Get wealth and power, if possible, with grace; If not--by any means get wealth and place," is a maxim from which they never swerve, except, perhaps, in so far as they prefer the latter alternative. With what an evil eye they, look upon the national prosperity so prominently brought under their optics by the periodical statements of the Revenue, may be gathered from the way in which their organs allude to it. Some of them, indeed, have the good taste not to offend the public by expressing their real sentiments, and pretend to be quite in extacies at the actual state and future prospects of the country. We find " great satisfaction," " highly gratifying statement," " nation advancing in prosperity," and similar expressions of de light and hope, dancing through the leading article of one Tory Contemporary this morning ; while another sees on the face of the official account " nothing indicative of any declining prosperity !"—kindly hinting at the same time that there are means by which public ac counts may be falsified. What would this sagacious gentleman not give to believe his own charitable in sinuations ! The Reformers of Bridgewater gave a grand dinner on Thursday last, to Colonel TYNTE and Mr. LEA DER, the Members for that Borough. There was on this occasion very strong evidence of what the Tories are pleased to denominate re-action—that is to say, the meeting, which consisted of almost all the respectable merchants and traders of Bridgewater, unanimously voted the House of Lords a nuisance, and were equally unanimous in declaring their opinion that the said nui sance must be abated, and that speedily. Colonel TYNTE, on his health being drunk, oh- served that Peerage Reform was a subject, the discus sion of which it was impossible for any meeting at the present day to avoid. Never was a juster observation made than this. But that is not all—it is also a most important and cheering truth, for it indicates as surely as the needle points to the pole, the accom plishment of the great object which now occupies the national mind. To suppose that a subject is so en grossing—so exclusively engages the thoughts of men, that no meeting, great or small, can take place at whi c h i t d oes n ot f orm t h e prom i nent top i c o f dis cussion ; an d to suppose , at t h e same t i me , t h at t hi s working o f t h e general intellect and expression of the general will are to have no results—would be a more monstrous absurdity than ever yet crossed the bewil dered brain of a Tory. In cases like this there can be no mistake —the Vox Pop& and the Vox Dei ale synonimous terms. We are much pleased with another remark which f e ll from the Hon. Gentleman. While speaking of the House of Lords, Mr. TYNTE said that the Lordly Incapablcs had completely lost the respect of the people since they had surrendered themselves to the direction of " two such mercenary, unprincipled, andfiagitious polit►cians as Lord LYNDHURST and the Bishop of EXETER." Th e grouping in this little sketch is singularly happy. We have not " the counter feit presentment" of the two brothers ; but the par ignobile fratrum cheek by jowl, and hit off to the life. Mercenary ! - -unprincipled ! tious ! ! \V hat a beautiful climax I Law and Di vinity have at last done something for the people, who have done a great deal for them—they have paved the way for Peerage Reform, by making the Peers odious and contemptible in the public sight. Mr. LEADER, the other Member for the borough, was no less ardent in the good cause. The mo ment he began to speak of introducing a sys tem of responsible representation into the House of Lords, the most deafening cheers testified that he had touched the true chord on which hung the sympathies of the people of Bridgewater. Having thus ingratiated himself with his audience, Mr. LEADER, proceeded to lay before his constituents an account of his conduct during the last session of Parliament, expressing, at the same time, his satisfac tion (as we sincerely do ours) at the newly established practice of the Representative rendering an account to the Represented. Until we get short Parliaments— and the period cannot be very far distant—this is the best substitute that we know of. The following passage, with which Mr. LEADER concluded his admirable speech, affords so good a rule for the conduct of Reformers, and is so much calculated to keep up the true spirit, by the influence of which the cause of Reform is destined to triumph, that we can not refrain from giving it circulation in our pages : " He had devoted himself to the cause of Reform, and wherever he had connections or sure friends, wherever he had property or influence, wherever he could with propriety present himself to a public meeting, where ever he had a right to speak on political or local affairs, in the north or in the south, in the east or in the west, at Montrose and at Bristol, in East Surrey and in West Somerset, there should his best efforts be made to pro mote Reform ; there should his voice be heard upholding the rights of the people, and maintaining the superiority of the responsible representative system over the here ditary irresponsible form of government." This was fol lowed by loud cheers, which continued for some minutes. We direct the attention of our readers to a commu nication from Dublin, which will be found in another part of The Sun, under the head " Rebellion-Ruf fians." Our Correspondent vouches for the truth of his statements, which afford another illustration of the accursed tithe-system under which Ireland labours, and which the Conservatives are still striving their ut most to maintain in all its rigour. We take for granted that the aggravated case mentioned in this communi cation will be promptly investigated by the civil autho rities in Ireland. The gallant bearing of the British Legion, in the action of the Ist instant, is the subject of universal eulogy in the city this morning. The warmest sup porters of the cause of Don CARLOS bear willing tes timony to the prowess of a body of troops whom they had hitherto regarded as mere mercenaries, alike desti tute of the courage and discipline of soldiers. The efficiency of the Legion was proved by the action of the sth of May ; it has now received the only confir mation of which it is capable. Had the discipline of the Legion been in the relaxed state represented by the Correspondents of the Herald and the Post, the men would never have sustained an attack so well con trived, so ably directed, and continued for so many hours. We admit that very little real advantage has been gained by this battle, beyond establishing the fact of the Legion's equality with an equal number of regular British troops, and the shedding of a gloom over the prospects of Don CARLOS ; but no person can blame the brave men of the Legion, or its distinguished' General for this. They did all that it was possible for so limited a force to do under the , circumstances. They defeated the Carlists ; and if they did not follow up their victory by an attack upon Irun, Hernani, or Fuentarabia, the reason is, because the capture of fortresses, for which they could not spare garrisons, would avail them nothing. We cannot express in sufficiently strong terms, the indignation with which we have learned that the two thousand three hundred troops drawn from the garrison of San Sebastian, to intercept the march of the Carlist Chief, SANZ, into the Asturias, instead of being landed at Gijon, within a few leagues of Oviedo, were actually landed at Santona by command of General IRIARTE, there to act as a coast-guard for Santander ! We begin to suspect that treason in the QUEEN'S army was not confined to General CORDOVA ; and that before the termination of the war, it will be disco vered that Spain owed the long continuance of the sanguinary struggle to the treachery of the Generals charged with important commands under the Consti tutional flag. In the present instance of gross misma nagement, the appearances are very suspicious. When the British Legion at St. Sebastian is menaced by VILLA II EA r. and the whole strength of th eCarlist army, an order is addressed to the General in command, for the sudden and unexpected removal of one fourth of his whole force to the Asturias, there to await the approach of a rebel detachment of three thousand men. In the mean time no doubt exists as to the certainty of an attack upon a garrison, thus weakened and disheartened, by an enemy superior in numbers, flushed with confidence, and neither deficient in courage, nor ignorant of military tactics. No sooner, however, does the force destined to intercept the rebels leave the garrison, than its destination is changed—the rebels are left to march unmolested whithcrsocvor they will ; and the remainder of the garrison are unnecessarily exposed to the chance of certain destruction. We recommend General EVANS to remain inactive or to act only on the defensive, till Rom', makes his appearance in the vicinity of Don CARLOS' head quarters. He ought not wantonly to sport with the lives of his men, by sallies which can neither improve his own condition, nor add to the discomfiture of the enemy. Lisbon mails to the 3d inst. have arrived ; but we are vet unacquainted with more than their general purport. They state that the capital continues pet. fectly tranquil ; that the Cabinet is unchanged ; and that no attempt has been made to re-establish the charter of Don PEDIto for the Constitution. The QUEEN and PRINCE ROYAL enjoy excellent health, and are, apparently, reconciled to the new aspect of affairs in the Peninsula. Kennington-common is at present the rendezvous of the most abandoned women of the town, who insult respectable modest females, and prove a great nuisance. The police seem to think their duty does not require interference in abuses of this description. A Court of Inquiry has been sitting from day to clay since the 28th ult., in the Mess-room of the Royal Marine bar racks at Chatham, in consequence of certain insinuations made by a private and some non-commissioned officers of the 80th Regiment, relative to a Captain of the Royal Marines. The Court is composed of the following officers :—Col. Pasley, C. 8., Royal Engineers, President ; Lieut.-Col. Wea!e, C. B. ; Lieut.- Col.

A LARK. —Captain Clement Hill, of the Horse Guards, a nephew of Lord Hill, was brou t ht before Mr. MINSIIULL and Mr. HALLs, charged with assaulting Daniel Giles a cab man, and a policeman in the execution of his duty. The prosecutor deposed that about half-past 12 last night he was in King William -street with his cab. He saw the defendant, and five or six other gentlemen, who all appeared to be officers, on the pavement. One of them called out to him, " Who are you ?" He made no answer; and then another called out, " Who, or how, is your mother ?" He said, " That can be of no consequence to you ;" when he was struck from behind. On turtling round he saw it was the defendant who had struck him with a stick or cane. He made another cut at him, and witness put up his hand to ward off the blow; the cane struck him on the nail of a finger, and made the blood start. Witness had not given anv other provocation whatever. He had distinctly stated all which passed. A policeman came ❑p and took the defendant into custody. Two persons, who were passing at the time, gave the same account of the affair. They did not see the cab-man give any provocation whatever. Police constable 115 F saw the defendant strike the cab man with his cane, and seized him. The defendant then gave the cane to one of his friends, and struck witness right nod left on the bead. The blows were very severe. Another constable came up, and with his assistance he was taken to the station-house. Giles said the defendant, in order to get rid of him, had poked the horse under the belly so much that ho kicked and broke the splash-board. The Captain said he and six of his friends were returning from the Adelphi Theatre; as they were going along the complainant drove up against him, and walked on alongside of him, plying for hire. As his own cab was following he told him to be off; and as he would not do so, but was inso lent, he struck him twice on the hat with his cane. The friends who were with him had been obliged to go down to Hounslow, or they would have proved his statement. With respect to the assault on the policeman. He had struck him, but not before telling him of it. The fact was, the policeman seized him by the breast in a very rough manner. He (de fendant) said, " Don't do that, and I will walk quietly along to the station-house, but I will not walk through the streets like a thief." He refused to let him go, and he struck him. His friends could have proved all that, but being on duty they could not come up. A gentleman volunteered his evidence. He had been at the theatre and was going up King William-street, a little in advance of the defendant and his friends. He saw the cabman pull over towards them, and his firm opinion was that if the cabman bad not interfered with the gentlemen, they would not have spoken to him. _ _ The Magistrate told the defendant that he would adjourn the case if he pleased till his friends could attend. The defendant thought it was a trifling case, and he would not trouble them. He would rather have it settled then. Mr. MINSTITTLL said the cabman might be allowed to with draw the charge, if he pleased to bring an action. None of the fine could go into his pocket. Giles preferred having the matter settled then and there, Mr. MINSHULL said his opinion upon the evidence before them was that the assaults both upon the cabman and the po liceman were most unprovoked, and if his colleague joined him he would fine the defendant in the highest penalty allowed by the law, that was 5/. for each assault. Mr. HALLS concurred. As the evidence stood he thought it proper that the Magistrates should mark their sense of the improper conduct of the defendant. The Captain then wrote an order upon Cox and Co., his agents, for 10/. It having been accepted, he declared upon his honour that the statement he had made was true, and would have been proved if his friends could have attended. Mr. MINsneLL said his opinion was that the case for the pro secution had been conducted in the fairest manner of any within his experience. The conduct of the prosecutor and policeman had been most proper. Captain Hill—Then, by implication, mine was bad. The MAGISTRATES (laughing)—We say nothing upon that head. The fines imposed show our sense of it. The Captain then clapped his hat on his head, and marched off. TOWN-HALL. John Smith and James Williams were this morning brought before Mr. Alderman LUCAS, charged by James Andrews, a police constable of the M division, with having stolen a pair of boots from the shop of Mr. Towell, a shoe-rrkaker, 238, High street. Andrews stated, that last night he was i n the Borough in plain clothes, where he saw the two prisoners, whom he knew to be thieves, prowling about ; he watched them, and saw Williams, when opposite Mr. Towell's shop, jump up, take down a pair of boots, and run off. Witness pursued him, and George Vicars, another police constable, ran after Smith. One boot was found on one of the prisoners, and the other on the other. Williams stated that he picked up the boots, and was in the act of taking them to Smith when the policeman took him into custody. Smith said he was trying on the boot when he was taken. Mr. Alderman LUCAS—Yes, you have been trying it on too long ; you must now try and get off, by making a jury, if you can, believe what you have stated. The prisoners were then fully committed. Sergeant Logan, of the M division of police, stated that the prisoners had been convicted before at the Surrey Sessions, and sent to Brixton for three months, from which place they had only been released a few days. • ) g, It• 4111 , " • A, cy- Z/bt HATTON-GARDEN. William Shave, who gave his name John Howard, was brought before Mr. BENNETT, in custody of Policeman 158 E, charged with stealing a box-coat, from the carriage of Mr. William Samuel Jones ; of Brunswick-square. John Pammet, coachman to Mr. Jones, stated that he was in the stable this morning about nine o'clock, when his atten tion was directed to the carriage, which was standing in Hen rietta-mews, and he saw the prisoner leaving it with the box. coat on his arm. He immediately pursued the prisoner who dropped the coat. He secured him and gave him into custody. The Policeman produced the coat which prosecutor stated to be of the value of 40s. The prisoner stated, in answer to a question from Mr. BEN. NETT, that having some time ago done something wrong at home, his father (who is in the employ of Mr. Johnson, iron monger, of Bishopsgate-street) would not allow him to return home, and ever since that time he had obtained his living the best way he could.—Fully Committed.

But neither the i be terest nor the compet i t i on i s limited to Scotland, as !",o/ar seen from the fa c t that Mr. Handl e y (M.P. for Lil n- i n po shire), the eminent stock-breeder, sent a pen of yoll s to to the exhibition ; and p rou d were t h e Scotc h hree"erd by find, that in the esti ma ti on o f the j udges the stock blot. themselves were in superior condition.
